How can we make Planner better?

User-Defined Status/Stages

Presently, to define status of a task, there are only three options available with the user, namely, Not Started, In Progress, Complete.

Provision to user's to create more status-tags will help track the status.

    Additionally, it would be fantastic if we could set as default, for example, the group by "progress", or at least remember the user last selection

    This is a big missing feature.

    After many years of handling IT projekts the categories I found to work for 80% of all situations are: Recieved(Not started), In Progress, Test, Waiting of response(Customer, 3. party), Complete, Annulled.

    I know this can be solved with catagories but I want to use the status function with relevant tracking.

    A user defined status with tracking would be the best solution.

    On Hold status is necessary, please add this small function to the program!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Task should be set to on hold, because there are a lot of things that are put on hold,
    So this status should be in

    +1000 for at least an on hold option, awesome if we could create our own statuses though!

    Please look into this MS, it's surely a simple thing to do and would help soo many people :)

    Or comment and give us the reasons why it's a bad idea?

    For example, postponed and the addition of a new start date would be great.

    Hi @Joanna Parkhurst, we also would really like to have more status-tags. For us it wold be fine with adding "review" or "testing" and "on hold".

  • Jacco commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    How come Microsoft ignores this very (small) but important feature? This way its hard to use in an IT enviromnent where tasks need to be 'tested'.
    I dont care about the empty-half-full rounds (make the mall half) if that makes it easier. Just add statuses: "Testing" and "On hold".
